Serie A 2022-23 Best Players Stats

After having one of the closest title races in years last year, the Serie A is again gearing up for an intense fight for the trophy yet again. Napoli, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus all look like favourites to add the Serie A trophy to their cabinet.  

Napoli currently lead the race five points ahead of AC Milan, with Inter Milan and Juventus wrapping up the top four. However, other teams such as Lazio, AS Roma and Atalanta are waiting in the wings to take advantage of any drop in form for the top four teams.

Among the top four, Inter Milan, Napoli, and AC Milan also have qualified for the Round 16 of the Champions League. 

And we bring you the stats from an incredible Serie A season.

Top Goal Scorers in 2022/23 Serie A season

Victor Osimhen: Victor Osimhen has been a wise investment for Napoli and has scored 24 goals and provided five assists over the last two seasons. And he has kept up his form this season. The Nigerian has currently scored nine goals, the most by any player in the league. His goals have helped Napoli climb to the top spot as they look to win their first title since 1989-90.

Marko Arnautovic: The Austrian is experiencing a rich vein of form this season. After scoring 14 goals in his debut season, Marko Arnautovic is already up to eight goals. The striker has scored 40 per cent of his team’s goals, which is why they are so far above the relegation zone.

MBala Nzola: After an abysmal last season in which he suffered from injuries, MBala Nzola returned with a vengeance. The Angolan had only scored two goals in the previous season but is already up to eight goals this season. In addition, he has scored 50 per cent of his team’s goals. His team Spezia is currently 17th in the league table, five points above the relegation zone.

Edin Dzeko: Even at 36 years, Edin Dzeko is still going strong. While Inter Milan have two brilliant strikers in Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku, the Bosnian has taken most of the goal-scoring burden with seven goals to his name. 

Ciro Immobile: It will take a lot of work to find a more prolific striker in Serie A who has performed for such a long time. The Italian has scored 190 goals and provided 51 assists in 275 matches for Lazio. And this season has been no different as Immobile has already racked up seven goals helping Lazio climb up to fifth, three points adrift of the Champions League places.

38 – Victor Osimhen has scored a goal every 38 touches on average in Serie A in 2022 (18 goals and 690 touches); the best ratio among players with at least 25 touches in this period. Midas.#OptaTopXI #SerieA

Top Assists in Serie A 2022/23 season

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic: If Ciro Immobile is scoring the goals for Lazio, then Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is creating them. The Serbian has provided seven assists, the most by any player in the league, which has propelled Lazio’s challenge for the Champions League places.

Gerard Deulofeu: The former Barcelona man had a stellar last season scoring 13 goals and providing five assists. This season while his goals have dried up, he has provided six assists becoming the chief creator for Udinese. 

Mario Rui: The Portuguese is having the best season of his life, racking up five assists, one less than his best-ever tally for Napoli. His up-and-down runs on the left flank have created havoc on the opposition, and no full-back has had more assists in the league than Mario Rui.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia:  By the end of his career, 21-year-old Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will indeed become the best footballer to come out of Georgia. The attacker joined Napoli in the summer and has immediately made an impact providing five assists and scoring six goals.

Piotr Zielinski: When you have three players among the top five assist providers, you are bound to be on the top of the league table. Piotr Zielinski is the third Napoli man to have five assists. With 22 games to go, he has already equalled his previous season’s tally.

Top Clean Sheets in 2022/23 Serie A season

Ivan Provedel: The Lazio man has been by far the best goalkeeper in Serie A, with nine clean sheets in 16 matches. This has helped Lazio become the second-best defence in the Serie A and helped them stay in the race for the Champions League spots. 

Wojciech Szczesny: Juventus have conceded only seven goals this season, the second-best record in the top five leagues after Barcelona. And Wojciech Szczesny has been one of the critical reasons for this brilliant defensive record. The Pole has only played ten matches but has kept eight clean sheets helping Juventus climb up to the third spot.

Alex Meret: League leaders Napoli’s goalkeeper Alex Meret has also been in fine form this season. Meret has helped his team keep six clean sheets conceding only 13 goals, the second-least in the entire league.

Juan Musso: Atalanta have struggled this season to keep up pace with the top four. However, Juan Musso in goal has been a key reason why their season has not faltered. The Argentine has kept five clean sheets playing only ten matches.

Rui Patricio: AS Roma have scored the least goals among the top eight teams in Serie A. However, heroics from Rui Patricio have ensured that Roma are only three points shy of fourth-placed Inter Milan. Patricio has kept five clean sheets till now.

The 2022-23 Serie A season started on August 13, 2022 and will end on June 4, 2023.
